Welcome to our 🔎 More About 🔎 series and celebrate with us the small presses, authors, and books from our Small Press Subscription Program!
Our first small press, author, and book from the May Bundle, which you can sign up for by April 15th [link in profile], is…
📚 Rescue Press 📚 Rescue Press is a library of chaotic and investigative work. Founded in Milwaukee in 2009, Rescue is an editor-run independent publisher of poetry, prose, and hybrid texts. Rescue Press values experimentation, conversation, care, and idiosyncrasy and is interested in high-contrast writing that pushes the boundaries of genre.
✨Sandra Doller ✨is the author of several books of poetry, prose, translation, and the in-between from the most valiant small presses, most recently Not Now Now from Rescue Press. Her work has lately appeared in magazines such as Fence, Harp & Altar, Pamenar, Touch the Donkey, and Action, Spectacle. Doller is the founder of an international literary arts journal and independent press called 1913, where she remains l’éditrice-in-chief. She lives in the USA, for now.
⏲ Not Now Now ⏲ (2025) is a highly entertaining book of poems, or as Paola Capó-García wonderfully describes it, “an assemblage of odd thinking things, of poems mid-thought, of baby speak beside Stein/Scalapino speak, of musings on motherhood, of pure pleasure experiments grounded in the freedom of abstraction.”

Our incentive for starting this program was to offer assistance to publishers affected by Small Press Distribution's abrupt closure in spring 2024. Now in 2026, with the sudden termination of NEA awards for literary presses and magazines, the crisis for small poetry publishers in the US has increased manifold, as has our motivation to continue providing this service. You can learn more about these twin crises and get updates on how to help small presses from CLMP (Community of Literary Magazines and Presses). Thank you for helping us support the small-press ecosystem from which new voices in American poetry most frequently emerge!
